Are there people around you whom you honestly dislike, and who dislike you in return? This sermon wrestles with one of Jesus’ most radical demands from the Sermon on the Mount: “Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you” (Matthew 5). It turns out that love is not a feeling beyond our control but a decision, a power revealed in the moving story of a former camp prisoner who, years later, came face to face with her guard. Listen and ask yourself whether there is someone on your list whom God is inviting you to love today.
Love
There Is Power
Everyone would like to be able to love more deeply, enjoy life more fully, live more peacefully, and show more patience, kindness, and self-control. That’s a better way to live, because character matters more than abilities. Such a life is also possible thanks to the work of the Holy Spirit, who transforms us from within in a way that is visible on the outside. THERE IS POWER to change!
